Almost a year!

First off if anyone noticed on the side there HB and my counter is almost up to 365 days. This Saturday which happens to be Sweetest Day is our one year anniversary! Since she wants to see Marie Antoinette I will take her to see that and since I am bummed that I can't make it to Bmore tomorrow to see Story of the Year again I talked her into going up Saturday to see Atreyu, From first to last, Everytime I die, and Chiodos !!! I am excited! I've tried to see each of these bands at different times but failed to make it. They are just a couple on my list that I need to see! I think it's a fair trade. It will also be our very last childless weekend til next year. She is going next week to pick her son up in Texas. But I have to say it has been a wonderful year!! This is my only relationship to last this long other than my ex-wife, actually I think once we made it a month it would qualify as my second longest relationship but whatever. It is great to be so happy and comfortable with someone. It may sound cliche but she truely is my best friend, her and Chris...lol. But I am truely thankful that she accepts me as I am and though she tanks me for the same reasons she is truely tame compared to my outbursts. We have had some bickering but not really any major fights except for one misunderstanding, me and my big mouth but we have overcome all the little stuff. I guess there was a plan for me, she came at just the right time in my life. Honestly I've said it before and people may not believe me but I would truely be a wreck right now. After Chris left I didn't have any friends left here, he was the last one, I mean I'm friends with his girl but we never really hung out alone or anything so it doesn't count. I would be alone and drunk everyday!! I am glad that she has come and made me want to change my old ways. I still drink but no where close to what I used to. A couple of her friends have thanked me and said that she has became a completely different person since she has been with me and that I have turned her attitude around and I am grateful that I was able to do that for someone. Other than my son I have never felt needed by someone and it truely is a great feeling to feel needed and to need someone else just to get through the day. I'll stop now since I am getting mushy and stuff. I leave you with lyrics to a song by Atreyu. Luckily I grabbed this Love before I missed my chance.

Atreyu - Nevada's Grace

In this perfection I lament her beauty
Her voice a sour note in this bitter serenade
In this perfection I lament her beauty
Her voice a sour note in this bitter serenade

And all these words I could have would have should have said
Ring out like gunshots across long lost days
If that wasn't love then what the fuck was I thinking?
I would bear my soul just to bask in your grace
And your beauty, your strength inspires all of my days
I would carry any load just to bear your cross for a day

In this perfection I lament her beauty
Her voice a sour note in this bitter serenade
In this perfection I lament her beauty
Her voice a sour note in this bitter serenade

Your love fills me up when the blood in my body's drained
And your strength is my backbone when I feel every bone break

I'm built for pain I swore to let no one in and there you where a vision a beauty

How could I know that you would take my breath away? And
How could I know one kiss would change everything?

Your love fills me up when the blood in my body's drained
And your strength is my backbone when I feel every bone break
Your love fills me up when the blood in my body's drained
And your strength is my backbone when I feel every bone break
